Discover the joys of creating in clay while receiving hands-on instruction in hand-building and pottery wheel techniques. This class is for beginner & intermediate levels and provides students with guided instruction. It is not an open studio.

Materials fee covers 25lbs of clay, firing fees and glazing supplies/materials. Students will work with a selection of Museum "in house" glazes. If a desired glaze is not included in the Museum's "in house" glaze selection, please connect with the instructor. We may be able to order your desired glaze at an additional cost.

Students will learn the basics of drypoint printmaking using plexiglass plates. This technique is wonderful for creating printed multiples using imagery with rich line quality. Class will focus on developing an image for a small edition as well as exploring ways to add color through techniques using multiple plates, monotype processes, and chine collé.

Emphasis will be given on developing your skills in professional painting techniques. Explore color, perspective, mark making and personal style while working from life and your imagination. Attention given to composition, value, color theory and painterly processes. Students provide materials.

Explore watercolor basics such as color mixing, composition and how to make a brushstroke while discovering your personal style. Demonstrations on various techniques will be given; students will work primarily from photos and the occasional still-life if desired. Students provide materials and are welcome to bring their own photos for inspiration.

A perfect introduction to the essentials of drawing with pastels. Students will explore realism and expressive mark-making techniques while using chalk & oil pastels. Demonstrations and hands-on processes will be explored and discussed. The elements of line, shape, value, texture, composition and color theory will be introduced. Students will work from the still life, landscape and portrait. Students provide their own materials.

Build fantastical nests from found twigs, yarn, ribbon, beads, string and more! Students are welcome to bring their own special findings to this workshop for inclusion within their unique nest. Weather permitting, we will take a stroll around the Museum grounds to collect items from nature. All will be inspired by real animal nests provided by our special guest, Chris Hitchener of Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary in Attleboro, MA.

Students will explore a variety of mediums such as drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. Assignments will be personalized to strengthen each student’s portfolio. The class will work from life and their imaginations. Personal style and experimentation will be encouraged.

Focus on working from life and your imagination. Create portraits, landscapes, still-life, abstractions and more while honing your skills in professional drawing and painting techniques. Projects for the serious young artist!

Explore color, value and how to make a brushstroke! Pablo Picasso, the “cubist master” will be the artist inspiration for each painting lesson as students create vibrant artworks with faces, animals, still-life and more! Students will experiment with tempera and watercolor painting techniques.

Let's reimagine and repurpose treasures and trinkets — both found objects and fancy baubles — to create mixed-media art on canvas board using a variety of materials, including acrylic and 3-D paint, gift wrapping paper and embellishments (from buttons to skeleton keys). We will make art our own by incorporating something personal and meaningful. Students are encouraged to gather some of their own personal trinkets and embellishments to inspire a piece that has personal meaning to them. We will have embellishments on hand, but please feel free to also bring items that interest you or have personal meaning (click HERE for suggestions).
